Filial piety: the supreme emperor

The cold winter has passed and spring has just arrived.

Although ordinary people no longer need heavy clothes to keep out the cold, they are very annoyed by one thing.

Those are the mosquitoes that make the buzzing sound and bite people.

Wherever you go, you can find their annoying presence.

"Pah...pah...pah!"

In the room, a little girl was bitten several times by mosquitoes flying around. She was concentrating, with her hands stretched out, staring at the little black shadows and waving them continuously.

Unfortunately, these mosquitoes are very alert and quick to move, and will fly away immediately if they sense danger.

The little girl's palms turned red from clapping, but she didn't kill many of the snakes and was instead bitten several times.

"Pah...pah...pah!"

This scene made the little girl grit her teeth, her face turned red, and she waved her hands again.

At this time, a woman walked into the room and said distressedly: "Mom has already lit the mugwort, and the mosquitoes will be driven away in a while."

In the purple bamboo forest, ripples appeared on the surface of the spiritual hot spring water.

The soft and attractive moonlight penetrated the clouds, sprinkled down drop by drop, covering the entire bamboo forest with a layer of silver gauze.

“Huff…Huff…”

"Wow... Wow..."

The breeze blows gently, causing the purple bamboos that are nestled together to sway gracefully, sending out continuous and clear music.

Lu Ran could feel the charm of the night and the warmth and wetness of the water.

It feels as if the body is tightly wrapped by a wet sponge, gently soothing the inner restlessness and physical fatigue.

Faced with such beautiful scenery, he was completely immersed in the hot spring, and his thoughts inevitably began to drift.

He remembered what the ancients had talked about learning.

Reviewing the old and learning the new can comfort the teacher!

Even though he had just finished practicing the body-refining technique.

But this cannot be an excuse for him to be lazy.

Now is the time to review the past and learn new things!

Only by consolidating what you have learned can you practice the next level of physical training without any obstacles and gain a deeper understanding.

Besides, Master is also accompanying him in cultivation.

The two of them learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses, which is more conducive to understanding the secrets of body refining and magical powers.

Neither Lu Ran nor Ning Qian are saints, so naturally they both have shortcomings.

Having shortcomings is not a bad thing, but a good thing. As long as you have a deep understanding of your own shortcomings and make up for them, they will become advantages.

Just like Master Ning Xian, for some reason her eyelashes were trembling slightly during practice tonight, and the look in her beautiful eyes was sometimes scattered and sometimes focused. It might be that she was wavering inside and couldn't calm down.

Seeing this, Lu Ran would take the initiative to calm her turbulent mind and help her dispel her inner restlessness. Of course, this would involve some verbal exchanges and adjustments to the body-refining techniques.

After slowly getting rid of distracting thoughts and calming down, Ning Qian resumed the solemn appearance of a master, guided his beloved disciple to start practicing, and pointed out the shortcomings.

Firstly, because he has now reached perfection in the realm of supernatural powers, and because he has refined many Yin and Yang evil spirits and is close to the realm of the king, his true essence is also extremely vast and thick.

Therefore, when activating the true essence to temper the various meridians of the body, it is difficult to control the amount of true essence flowing.

In this regard, Master Ning Qian suggested that we could use some magical powers appropriately to release some of the vast true energy so that we could have better control.

Lu Ran believed in his master's words without a doubt, so he gave it a try and displayed several endless sword-killing magical powers. He then used the "Yuan Yang Hui Liu Technique" to intercept it twice, and it was indeed smoother.

He began to try to explore the mysteries of the body-refining exercises in depth, and the movement was completely different from before. His meridians were no longer blocked, but were full of smoothness and comfort.

Every operation of the celestial body feels smooth and integrated!

The second body-refining technique was not practiced enough, just as Lu Ran said before.

He prefers a method of cultivation that allows him to move forward steadily without being impatient, striving to achieve the desired result in each cycle.

Therefore, there is a lack of the courage and fearlessness to move forward.

Master has previously suggested that we should try both approaches, or learn from each other’s strengths.

Lu Ran carefully examined his strengths, consolidated his cultivation achievements, made steady progress, and found a cultivation rhythm and method that suited him.

Before long, this method of tempering the physical body naturally reached the next level, opening a new door to physical training for him.

"Master, I understand!"

Lu Ran smiled and wiped away the sweat from his body due to long hours of practice.

Seeing that her beloved disciple had such a high level of understanding, Ning Qian's face flushed with excitement. She suppressed her inner joy, trembled with relief, clenched her teeth, and gently opened her red lips and said:

"Ran'er~ You must guard against arrogance and impatience on the road of cultivation!"

"Although you have quickly cultivated to the second level of this body-refining technique this time, you are still some distance away from perfection."

"Ran'er, you need to continue to strengthen yourself and work hard to improve yourself."

"I understand, Master!"

Lu Ran was deeply moved by his teachings, and according to his master's instructions, he continued to consolidate his new cultivation achievements, deepen his self-understanding, and look forward to entering the next realm.

Although the process was tiring and mentally draining, he continued to verify what he had learned.

Ning Qian looked at all this and felt even more relieved.

Such a talented and intelligent disciple with a high level of understanding will surely reap rewards in the future as long as he is willing to work hard.

However, seeing his tireless appearance, Ning Qian felt a little distressed. She took the initiative to hold him in a warm embrace and comforted him with gentle words:

"Ran'er~ Don't worry... Master is by your side, take your time!"

As she spoke, she took out a scarf and gently wiped the sweat off her beloved disciple's cheeks and forehead.

This scene of kindness and compassion is enough to show that Master Ning Wan dotes on her beloved disciple very much!

"call……"

Under the gentle and loving comfort of his master, Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that all the restlessness and fatigue he had just felt had vanished.

In response, Ning Qian also let out a breath, still holding him tightly, letting him feel her care and tenderness.

An unknown amount of time had passed before the master and disciple, who had been practicing physical exercises, snuggled up to each other and slowly sank into the refreshing hot spring.

"Ran'er, are you tired?"

Ning Qian gently kissed her beloved disciple's lips and asked softly.

"How could that happen when I have my master with me?"

Lu Ran smiled, leaned against the warm stone wall behind him, and relaxed.

Although he had intercepted the "Yuan Yang Hui Liu Technique" for the fifth time tonight, he did not feel any fatigue.

"That's good!"

"The long night cannot be wasted!"

In the small house in the back mountain, in Lu Ran’s room.

Li Shishi was only wearing a thin gauze dress, lying on the soft bed, eyes slightly closed, star-like eyes half squinting. She gently flipped a book with a pale yellow cover with one hand, and her long legs wrapped in black ice silk stockings swayed gently. Because of her tall figure, lying on the bed, her plump breasts formed an amazing curve, and deep ravines were faintly visible.

The book she is reading is called "The Domineering Senior Brother Falls in Love with Me (Illustrated Collector's Edition)".

"Brother, why haven't you come back yet?"

Li Shishi read the book for a long time, learned a lot of clever strategies and techniques, then looked outside and couldn't help but complain.

She had been waiting for more than an hour, but her senior brother still hadn't shown up. At this moment, her mind was full of tricks to capture her senior brother, but she had no place to use them, so she could only use her senior brother's bed to express her longing for him.

"I'd better ask!"

Li Shishi put down the book, took out a sound transmission jade slip, and wrote on it with her fingers.

[Brother, what are you doing? Why haven't you come back yet? ]

After sending the message, she habitually picked up Lu Ran's pillow and rubbed her flawless face on it. Unfortunately, because her senior brother had not returned for a few days, the pillow lacked his warm breath.

"Buzz!"

Not long after, the sound transmission jade slip rang.

Li Shishi knew that it was her senior brother who replied. She immediately raised her head happily and opened the jade slip of voice transmission eagerly.

[I am currently exploring a foggy and mysterious place and may not be back soon.]

"Why don't you go to rest at night and go to look for some secret place?"

“Is that secret place more attractive than me?”

Li Shishi pouted slightly, but continued to ask.

She pondered for a while, then wrote on the jade slip: [Senior Brother, you must be careful. I will wait for you in the sect! ]

It sounded like something a wife would say while waiting for her husband to return, a trick she had learned from a book.

If you learn one little trick every day and wait for it to become second nature, then it will be easy for you, right?

At the same time, in the hot spring, Lu Ran, who was practicing physical exercises, put down the sound transmission jade slip, but it suddenly rang again.

He opened it and found it was a message from Aunt Rong.

【Ran Er, are you asleep? 】

Lu Ran was about to reply when suddenly a soft hand reached out, took the sound transmission jade slip, and white fingers slid across it.

[Aunt Rong, I haven't slept yet. I'm exploring a mysterious foggy place. ]

[Is this secret place dangerous? How come you still have time to reply to messages? ]

[It's not too dangerous, but it's surrounded by mountains. Being in it feels like being pulled by a terrifying fiery rainbow of light, which makes it difficult to breathe and extremely affects the spirit.]

"What kind of strange secret place is this?"

Qu Qirong was stunned for a moment and was a little confused. It was the first time she heard of such a secret place.

However, she also knew that there were all kinds of strange secret realms in the world of immortal cultivation, so it was not surprising that there were the ones that Lu Ran described.

Knowing that now was not a good time to talk, Qu Qirong told Lu Ran to be careful and then put down the jade slip.

"Ran Er~ Is it okay for me to reply like this?"

Ning Qian put down the jade slip of her beloved disciple's voice transmission. A charming blush appeared on her beautiful face. Her eyes were half-closed, with a mixture of charm and light, exuding a seductive charm.

Lu Ran was somewhat helpless about this, not knowing how to answer, and just silently put away his jade slip of voice transmission.

Then, he continued to work hard to consolidate the results of his practice, and continued to practice this physical exercise steadily, striving to complete the practice before dawn.

……

In Lu Ran's room, Li Shishi had just put down the jade slip for transmitting sound.

Suddenly, she seemed to sense something and asked in her mind: "Why have you fallen into a deep sleep these days?"

"There are a few more memories in my mind, and it takes time to integrate them!"

Hong Shi appeared and lay beside her, saying with a complicated expression.

"What kind of memory?"

Li Shishi's gaze involuntarily fell on Hong Shi.

Before, Hongshi looked exactly like her, except for the color of her eyes and hair.

But for some reason, this time the other party appeared with a stunning aura that was unique to those in a superior position.

Her eyes occasionally flashed with the radiance of red lotus, inexplicably carrying the majesty and nobility of an emperor.

Li Shishi didn't understand why Hong Shi had changed like this, and simply attributed it to the influence of "The Emperor's Daughter's Reincarnation".

Hong Shi had a complicated expression: "I remembered my name, and some vague memories!"

Li Shishi was stunned, her eyes wide open like stars: "What's your name?"

Hong Shi's mind flashed back to the kingdom of flowers and the woman in a red dress who looked exactly like her. She opened her red lips and said, "Mu-Wan-Zhi!"

"Mu-Wan-Zhi!" Li Shishi murmured to herself, looking at Mu Wanzhi with a complicated expression: "Are we really the same person?"

"If not, what is our relationship and why do we coexist in the same body?"

She now understood that they were most likely not the same person, otherwise Hong Shi would not have said "remembered my name" but "remembered our names"!

Mu Wanzhi looked confused, her red lotus-like eyes seemed to penetrate the long river of time, searching for that vague memory: "Shishi, do you know the Imperial Princess Flower?"

"The Emperor's Flower?"

Li Shishi looked confused, obviously she had never heard of the name of this flower.

But she subconsciously felt that the Imperial Daughter Flower was related to the "Imperial Daughter Reincarnation Technique" she was practicing.

Facing her gaze, Mu Wanzhi's eyes were filled with red lotus starlight: "The Emperor's Daughter Flower, also known as the Emperor's Daughter Phoenix."

"This flower is the flower of the Emperor Phoenix of the Flower Clan from ancient times. It is born to be the Empress of the Flower Clan. It practices the highest magic, the 'Emperor's Daughter's Reincarnation Technique', and rules the vast and boundless flower world."

"In order to ensure the inheritance of the Flower Clan, every Flower Clan Empress will use her own blood essence to activate the "Emperor Daughter Reincarnation Technique" during her reign to cultivate a new Emperor Daughter Flower."

After hearing this, combined with "The Emperor's Daughter's Reincarnation", Li Shishi understood something and gritted her teeth in disbelief!

From Mu Wanzhi's words, it is not difficult to guess that she is the descendant who was conceived.

But why do the two coexist as one now?

Did something happen in this?

As if knowing what she was thinking, Mu Wanzhi had a complicated expression and sighed softly: "Just like that, day after day passed, and under my cultivation, you slowly developed consciousness."

"Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. One day, the flower world's barrier was torn apart by a terrifying force, and an extremely terrifying creature descended into the flower world."

Li Shishi frowned and asked nervously, "What is the origin of this creature?"

“I don’t know where it came from either.”

"Just remember that it is a huge eyeball surrounded by endless black flames. The black flames around it are enough to burn everything!"

"In order to avoid any accidents, I forcibly opened the passage to the outside world and sent you out of the flower world. Then I led the flower clan's strong men to fight it to the death..."

"In the end, all the powerful members of the Flower Clan perished. I desperately used forbidden techniques to destroy the giant eye."

"But nothing can be undone. The Flower World has been burned to ashes by the Black Flame Hell..."

Recalling the giant eye shrouded in terrifying black flames in his mind, Mu Wanzhi's expression was cold and hatred was surging in his eyes.
